If I can endure for this minute
Whatever is happening to me,
No matter how heavy my heart is
Or how dark the moment may be-
If I can remain calm and quiet
With all the world crashing about me,
Secure in the knowledge God loves me
When everyone else seems to doubt me-
If I can but keep on believing
What I know in my heart to be true,
That darkness will fade with the morning
And that this will pass away, too-
Then nothing in life can defeat me
For as long as this knowledge remains
I can suffer whatever is happening
For I know God will break all of the chains
That are binding me tight in the darkness
And trying to fill me with fear-
For there is no night without dawning
And I know that my morning is near.

1-SIBYLLINE FOUNTAINS OF THE HEART
Women are the diviners of Her sibylline outpourings,
living oracles of Her Presence among us,
loving temples of Her enfleshment....
The universe, too, is an Oracle & a Temple...
& constellations as sibylline in
all the mystic meanings of their light*speak
as veins of leaves are cryptic in mystic intimations...
Leaf & star... who can read their meanings?
Women of Her Spirit
are given to wise ends
& gentle souls that are troubled.
Who else is so aware that the whole of life
is filled with sacred presences?
Women of Her Spirit
know the gifts of fire and water, of earth & air
& can scrye meanings from the very heavens...
Women's tears... women's hands...
these holy women take us to the goal of love
without any travelling to get here...
Women of Her Spirit... so dear to us,
you are the return of Mother Eve,
enfleshed as Eve's daughters;
you are Zoe of Life, in essence and being;
you return us to Eden,
pure & holy, again...
Holy the living fountain of your hearts, outflowing
Holy the sacramental stillness, your deep knowing
Holy each tender touch
Holy every soft gaze, loving...
Beloved, be this holy...
